8 months agoI have multiple Bluetooth headphones that I use and wear often, and I generally prefer them. But a phone with no headphone jack is a non-starter.
Wired headphones are bedrock.They don’t need to be charged. They work easily across devices. I don’t have to worry about dropping them, or fumbling with menus to connect. They just work, always, immediately. Not having headphones that work when you need them is a huge problem.
